Design Thinking Methods for Engagement is a one day course as part SFU’s Dialogue and Civic Engagement Certificate. The material was developed by myself and my colleague Marten Sims and supported by the work we’ve done at Emily Carr University and with Vancouver Design Nerds.

The course builds on the belief that everyone is creative, however the tools and confidence to bring creativity into professional engagement settings is lacking. The course sets out to explore what design thinking means and to practice a range of creative methods that can be used to bring people together to better understand and address complex issues.
